Today, is the worst day I've had since Abel and I have been married. Our little dog Piper got out and ran into the street and was hit by a car. I wasn't outside when it happened, but just heard Abel yelling (not like mad yelling, but desperation/sad yelling) her name and I heard Piper screaming/yelping really loudly also. I ran upstairs to see Abel holding Piper bringing her from street. We laid her down on the grass and Abel ran inside to get a blanket. I was just sitting out there trying to get her not to move. We quickly drove to the animal hospital down the street and were immediately seen by a vet. He said that for sure her femur was snapped, she had some internal damage, and that he thought she had damage to her spine (that could result in paralysis of her back legs), but he wouldn't know everything until he opened her up in surgery. He basically told us that even if he did surgery it wasn't a for sure thing that she'd be fixed completely. So, we made one of the hardest decisions ever and decided to put her down so she wouldn't have to be in anymore pain and potentially deal with not being able to run and jump and play like she loved to do.
We love you Piper and we will miss you so much. Thanks for blessing us with so much happiness the short time you were with us.
